OPINION
HECHT, Justice.
The Texas Motor Vehicle Commission has six members, a majority of whom constitute a quorum. Texas Motor Vehicle Commission Code, Tex.Rev.Civ.Stat.Ann. art. 4413(36), §§ 2.02, 2.08(a) (Vernon Supp.1993). The Commission is authorized to take final action upon a “majority vote of a quorum of the Commissioners”. Id. § 3.08(g). The principal issue in this case is whether the Commission can reach a final decision on a vote of 2-1, with one commissioner abstaining. The court of appeals answered this question in the affirmative. 833 S.W.2d 683. We disagree.
